Every once in awhile it looks as if the
commercial agencies, as well as some of
the leading daily papers Of the east, are
run in the interest of Wall street. They
v let an occasion slip to sound the
alarm of a money panic, and the slight
est trouble among the New York brokers
is made the subject for discouraging
forecasts and prophecies. 1t has been APP
parent for nearly a year that the lamb
crop is diminishing and that the in
nocents who have been shorn for so
long by the stock brokers are leaving
the bucket shops and stock exchanges
and making investments in western
real estate. The commercial agencies
seem to view this state of things with
Wall street eyes, and therefore publish
reports that western real estate specula-
ton is absorbing altogether to much
money for the good of commerce., and
tell people that real estate booms are
bound to collapse in the near future

Mineral Land Decision.

Acting Secretary Kuldrow rendered
on the 14th Of October a decision in the
case of the United States VS.. Pearsall &
Freeman, Gunnison land district, Col.
involving mineral entries of placer
claims, on appeal from the commissions
Of the general land office. The COM
missioner held that the location Of the
claims did not conform to the system oil
public survey as contemplated by the
statute, and that they were not located
in good faith for mining purposes, bui
to obtain control Of the water. The
acting secretary holds to the contrary
and on the first point says that the
construction of the statute, as held in
the ase of William Rablin, wherein il
was decided that the requirement of the
statute that the claim upon surveyed
land must conform to the legal sub.
division thereof las near as practic.
able," must be construed to mean that
the claims must conform only "as near
IS reasonably practicable :" hat it is
the intention Of the mining laws gener-
ally to permit persons to take a certain
quantity of land fit for mining, and not
to compel them to take such quantity
irrespective of its fitness for mining

GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTER-.
EsTiNG TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
how TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is the terror of young mothers
especially during the early winter
months, us it is then most prevalent.
To post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms, treatment and how to
prevent it, is the object of this article.
The origin of Group is IA common cold,
children that are subject to it take cold
very easily and Group is almost sure to
follow. The first symptoms Of Group is
hoarseness, it is IA peculiar ho~arseness.
easily recognized and once heard al
ways remembered. Usually a day or
two before the attack, the child be-
comes hoarse and gradually shows
symptoms of having taken cold, and
this is where the mistake is usually
made, the mother thinking her child
has just taken cold gives it no especial
attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing of the child,
has had cold or been hOarse for a day
or two. Such circumstances often oc.
cur, and in many cases the mother has
nothing in the house that will relieve it,
and may be several miles from a physi-
elan or drug store. You can well i'm
agine the situation and her distress.
The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse or shows symptoms of
having taken cold; if Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is freely given from
that time on, all tendency to Group will
disappear and all danger be avoided.
The remedy prevents fully ten thous-
and cases of Group every year. 1t is
the main reliance with many mothers
throughout the Western States and
Territories; they have learned its value
and how TO use it, and in those families
Group is seldom known because it is
always prevented.
The best treatment for crcupi is Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy used as di-
rected with each bottle. Careful in
curry fail to reveala single case where
it has ever failed although agreat many
severe and dangerous cases have been
cured by it. Can any mother who has
small children afford to be without such
a remedy. 1t costs but fifty cents, can
she afford to take the chances for SO
trivial an amount

Judge Francis is in Washington resist
ing removal, but the following special
to the st. Paul Globe, would indicate
that his resistance will not be crowned
with success:
Washington, Nov. 4.-Under the law
when an official is removed and his sue
cessor appointed and the action Of the
president is non-concurred in by the
senate by the rejection of the nominee,
then, at the close of the session or the
senate, the former official resumes his
duties. The successor Of Judge Francis
might not be confirmed by the senate,
but he would serve until congress adj
%journs anyway. If this he done and
congress remains in session, as it prob
ably will, until next July, then the term
of the commission of Judge Francis will
have expired and a new appointment
be made necessary to fill the vacancy.
In brief, when his successor shall be APP
pointed and Francis removed that will
end his career on the bench, whether
his successor be confirmed or not
Judge Francis may as well resign and
get out gracefully. He car never hold
the Office again.

Probable Murder.

Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock,
Charles Russell shot and probably fat
ally wounded Charles Ross, at Smith
wick. They are cowboys, employees Of
the 4W outfit, which shipped from
Smitbwick Thursday. From what we
can learn it appears that Ross attempted
to awake Russell who was asleep and
had been drinking. Russell told him to
60 away or he would shoot him. Ross
thinking he was joking did not leave,
when Russell pulled his pistol and fired,
the ball entering just below the left eye.
tearing the eye out and the ball ranging
upward lodged in his head. 1t is
thought he cannot recover. Russell was
arrested and brough. to Oelrichs, where
he had an examination before Justice
Doran, and plead guilty. He was taken
to the Springs, where he will be held to
await the action Of the grand jury

Bradstreet's railroad report for the
nine months of 1887 show that l16 rail
roads have earned nearly $30.000,O 00
more than was earned by them during
the corresponding period last year.
This does not look as if the railroads
were all going to be sent into bank
ruptcy by the Interstate commerce
law. The predictions of tie opponents
of the law, that roads would be bank
rupted, and railroad building would be
stopped by its operation, have not been
fulfilled. The results have been entirely
the other way, and the railroad man
ayers appear to be better satisfied than
any body else with the situation. Den

Big Bend.

Commenting on all article appearing
in a recent issue ofthe Rapid Republican
denouDcing Chadwick and his Big Bend
fraud, the Deadwood Pioneer says:
"The above, in the Republican, is the
truth in regard to Chadwick and his
Big Bend fraud. For stating the case in
less forcible language than the Republi-
can, the Pioneer was indicted for
criminal libel. But now it seems hat
the PioSeer stated the truth fairly, and
in such d way as TO, If possible, prevent
the New York people from being
swindled by this confidence game. That
the dividends were paid from the sale

known that the ground on which the
Big Bend company was working had
already ruined one company that in

operator OF the supposed mine was
playing a confidence game. Of course

responsible for such a deal, consequent

indicted by a Pennington county grand
jury:
However, the expose was not with
out good effect, although it has cost the
newspapers money, for it led to the
sending out Of Mr.. Finn by the stock
holders, who attended to the cleanup
After two months work and careful
prospecting, Mr.. Finn reported that the

an end. This was learned from the
men who we're employed on the ground

The contractors and men who were

men into them, when a report was

G. Jake, the Hermosa Pilots Folsom
Spring Creek, correspondent, referring
to the feeling in that locality upon the
question Of the division Of the territory.
says: upon the question of division
and admission our people are not out
spoken, but if we feel the popular pulse
Alright Spring creek prefers a great terri
tory to an insignificant state. Nor do
her people feel inclined to purchase the
blessings of statehood at the dear cost of
the sacrifice of that proud patriotism
resulting from the consciousness that
they are citizens of the greatest terri
tory and the designed grandest state OF
the Union. And as they have no salts
factory assurance that division would
accelerate admission, and feel quite sure
that 1t would burdensomely augment
taxation, they are content to f1atter
themselves that two U. s. Senators from
the Great Dakota would get as much
patronage as four from the sundered
sisters and SO regard this argument no
offset to the other. Furthermore, none
of us are seeking office, as we believe
many of the loud advocates tor division
are doing, and therefore the fact that
division would greatly increase the
number of Offices is no inducement to
us to vote for it. But you may bet your
boots that well all throw up our hats
upon receipt Of the news that that great
boil on our prosperity-the Sioux reser-
%yation-is opened.

Sunday, revealed the presence of six
deadly dynamite bombs in the cell oc-
cupied by Lingg, the most obstinate and
determined of the gang. Outside com

seven were transferred to other cells.
When, how, or by whom the bombs
